Shadow Teleoperation System
The Shadow Teleoperation System is a bimanual dexterous hand teleoperation platform from Shadow Robot Company, designed to allow operators to control a pair of Shadow Dexterous Hands (each with 20 degrees of freedom, 24 movements, and 120 sensors) mounted on UR10 robot arms. The operator uses a lightweight leader glove (Shadow Glove or HaptX Glove with tactile fingertips) to drive the follower hands with minimal latency. The system supports WiFi and 5G for remote operation and is targeted at nuclear, pharmaceutical, maintenance, and research applications requiring safe remote manipulation.
Primary use case: Remote control of the Dexterous Hand in hazardous, clean, and remote environments.

Xiaomi Engineers Robotic Hand From 1,827 Factory SOPs: China Spy Law Travels With It
Xiaomi developed a 324-gram, 21-DoF bionic hand with 26 motors, roughly 1,500 tactile points, and forearm-mounted tendon actuation, grounding its design in 1,827 automotive-factory SOPs rather than generic dexterity benchmarks. Xiaomi's analysis reported substantially better stable-grasp performance than simpler 6-to-15-DoF manipulators, but the hand remains undeployed and lacks public pricing, availability, independent reliability testing, and a security audit. The article also warns that Chinese intelligence and data-security laws, along with U.S. restrictions on foreign robotic devices, could prevent Western automotive manufacturers from adopting it.
